Chapter 1254: Corn crickets

He could see the corn even more clearly when he pried it open.

As expected of the corn provided by the system, each corn was almost the same size and was exceptionally plump.

“Cha Cha Cha,” the corn separated from the corn ears, making a soft sound.

Yuan Zhou’s palms were dry. Every time he rubbed a whole row of corn into the bamboo strips, the corn would be automatically separated into grains and scattered in the green bamboo strips.

In fact, corn had been cultivated for more than 470 years. Now, the sowing area had reached about 300 million mu, which was only second to the sowing amount of rice and wheat, and ranked third among grain crops.

As there were many plants, there were also many ways to eat it. What Yuan Zhou cooked was a very popular yet extremely simple way to eat it in the southwest.

The simpler it was, the harder it was to make. For example, corn patties were made without adding a drop of water or flour. In this case, not only did they have requirements for the choice of corn, but they also had requirements for the thickness of the corn.

If the corn was ground too coarse, it would prick the throat when eaten, and the taste would not be good.

However, if it was too fine, it wouldn’t be sticky and wouldn’t be shaped after steaming. The texture would only be mushy but not soft.

He didn’t even add sugar to the corn drizzles cooked by Yuan Zhou. In this way, it was even more necessary to grind the corn to a uniform thickness. Only in this way could the sugar inside the corn be fully broken and have a fresh and sweet feeling when eating.

Therefore, Yuan Zhou didn’t peel off all the corn kernels before grinding them. Instead, he started to rotate the stone mill after peeling off the corn kernels that had been ground for the first time.

“Pa, pa, pa!” As the stone mill turned, the sound of corn kernels being crushed by the stone mill kept ringing out.

Yuan Zhou rotated the stone mill with one hand and pinched the corn cobs with the other. With a slight stroke of his thumb, he peeled off a whole row of corn kernels.

Although Yuan Zhou was peeling the corn with one hand while turning the millstone with the other, his speed didn’t slow down.

“Hua la Hua la,” the roughly crushed corn kernels slowly flowed into the porcelain bowl under the stone mill.

In the White porcelain pot, the pale yellow corn kernels had a pulp texture.

On the other side, Yuan Zhou didn’t put the corn kernels into the bamboo strips this time. Instead, he directly peeled them into the stone mill and then crushed them as it rotated.

In Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, Yuan Zhou was preparing breakfast earnestly. As time passed, the sky outside became brighter and brighter and the number of people waiting in line also increased.

Zhou Jia and Cheng Han had already arrived and started to maintain the line with the people from the queuing Committee.

There were only 100 sets of breakfast, so the line in the morning was the least crowded.

Besides, the customers in the morning were also the most diverse, because Yuan Zhou’s breakfast was the cheapest.

It wasn’t that the price was cheaper than the other dishes. In fact, the silver ear that was cheaper than Yuan Zhou by 1 RMB had never been taken away.

Breakfast was cheap because there was only one breakfast, and each person could only order it once.

However, lunch and dinner were different. Although the same dish could only be ordered once, ever since Meng Meng discovered that she could order different dishes to fill her stomach, very few customers in the restaurant could resist only ordering one dish.

It couldn’t be helped that Yuan Zhou’s craftsmanship was too good and the food he cooked was too alluring. No one could resist it.

However, breakfast was different. There was only one thing, and that was that he couldn’t spend money on it.

This gave those who wanted to save money and eat less to lose weight a better choice.

According to the conclusion of the netizens, waking up early to eat breakfast at Yuan Zhou’s restaurant was the most cost-effective way to lose weight and be healthy.

In the breakfast line, other than the first 14 who were regular customers, the people in the line behind them were different almost every day.

As a matter of fact, there was a girl with a very unfamiliar face today.

Zhou Jia noticed her at first glance, even though her seat was not in the front of the line, because she was really conspicuous.

It wasn’t because of her looks. She looked delicate and pretty, but she looked to be 1.8 meters tall.

Because Ling Hong wasn’t here, she was the highest in the team.

By the way, Wu Hai was about the same height as Yuan Zhou, both about 1.75 meters. Ling Hong, on the other hand, was over 1.8 meters tall.

The girl was very thin. She was carrying a backpack and was looking at the closed door of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant with a curious expression.

Because it had been steamed in advance, the restaurant itself gave off a trace of fragrance, so there were quite a few people looking at the door of the restaurant.

For example, Wu Hai had already laid on the door again.

Looking at Wu Hai’s manner, everyone had already gotten used to it. However, Zhou Xi, who was standing second, suddenly raised his voice when he saw Wu Hai,””I have a couplet now, but I don’t know who can match it.”

Zhou Xi turned his head and looked at the people queuing behind him with a smile.

“Are you playing couplets this morning?” Someone asked with interest.

“No, I just suddenly thought of it.” Zhou Xi shook his head.

The old man who liked to eat soup dumplings said,””Don’t keep me in suspense. Tell me what the first verse is. ”

“Alright, but this couplet is related to eaves Wu.” Zhou Xi looked at Wu Hai as if he was asking for permission.

Wu Hai was intoxicatedly smelling the fragrance of the restaurant and was busy comforting his stomach in his heart. When he heard Zhou Xi’s words, he said without even raising his head,””If you want to say it, then say it. There’s no need to ask me.”

“Okay, then I’ll get straight to the point.” Zhou Xi nodded and then turned his head to say,””The first half is: Wu Haixin, eaves Wu.”

“Door eaves? Hahaha, what a good first half. ” The moment the grandpa heard the first half of the couplet and looked at Wu Hai’s movement, he burst into laughter.

Even the others could not help but laugh.

Zhou Jia and Cheng Han, who were maintaining the line, looked at each other and then covered their mouths and laughed.

It couldn’t be helped. The first line was too vivid. Wu Hai was lying on the eaves right now. Besides, eaves Wu was his personal nickname. There was simply no more appropriate nickname than this.

“Who can come up with the second half?” Zhou Xi said with a calm smile.

“This is not a problem for this old man.” The grandpa said after he was done laughing.

However, just when the grandpa was about to say something, the door of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant suddenly opened, revealing Yuan Zhou’s serious face and the face mask that he always wore meticulously.

“Morning.” Yuan Zhou’s clear voice came out from the face mask.

Everyone greeted him with a smile.

After they greeted each other, Yuan Zhou turned around and entered the kitchen to continue preparing the breakfast.

Zhou Jia stood at the door and said,””There are still five minutes before breakfast time starts. Those in front can start lining up to get a number.”

This time, the customers all went to take their numbers, and for a moment, they couldn’t care about the couplets just now.

“I’ll tell you the second half of the couplet when we’re inside,”the old man said hurriedly.

“Alright,” he said. Zhou Xi responded.

Although the couplet was related to Wu Hai, he didn’t care about it at all. As soon as he entered the restaurant, he asked Yuan Zhou,””What’s the breakfast today? it smells good. ”

“Corn patties, or corn patties, one for each person. Two for each.” Yuan Zhou said.

“It’s a new breakfast. Is two too little?” Wu Hai started to say that it was too little even before they started to eat.

“This is coarse grain, it’s very filling.” Yuan Zhou said calmly and naturally.

“Alright, I’ll have one.” Wu Hai was used to being rejected and thus didn’t really care about it. He turned his head and ordered the dishes from Zhou Jia.

“This thing is really good. I haven’t eaten good food in a long time.” The grandpa recalled the time when they could only eat coarse grain during the famine and sighed with emotion.
